The Chelsea Flower show... for the first time I visited this wonderful event ..
it was a very special birthday for my mum this year so my sister had a fab idea to take her to the Chelsea flower show .
I left home at 6.45am Saturday morning . we arrived there at about 10.20am ...lots of walking ....lots of ooh And aahhh -ing , we headed for the pavilion, the flower stands where amazing the blocks of single species with all colour combinations , the various scents as you walked through, was a wonderful experience.. some of my favourite cottage garden flowers where there in abundance , including Foxgloves, Aquilegia, lupins, and of course roses ..... I loved this 1940`s inspired
vegetable plot. i must say it was the only garden i would love to have taken home and just plonked in my garden.....if only!
My lovely Mum colour co-ordinating with the tulips
the scent on these was wonderful " my favourite spring flower"
I LOVE FOXGLOVES , SO DO THE BEES.....
THESE WHERE NOT SO INSECT FRIENDLY! 
SOME OF THESE LOOKED LIKE FIREWORKS.
A NATURAL LOOKING WATER FEATURE
BIT OF A SHOCK IF YOU FOUND THIS CHOMPING YOUR LETTUCES!!!!!
THIS LITTLE CHARACTER IS THE CULPRIT THE SNAIL MAKER .. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BUY SOME OF THE BRONZE SCULPTURES BUT MY BUDGET WOULD NOT ALLOW IT .....
TREE FOUNTAINS
MY ALL TIME FAVOURITES " BOXING HARES"
